MACHINE FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF LACE-PAPER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 461,758, dated October 20, 1891.

Application filed March 5, 1891'. Serial No. 388,826. (No model.)

To all whom if; may concern:

forated is introduced between the rollers A Be it known that I, BENZION KARFIOL, a and C and subjected to the action of the cutcitizen of the United States, residing at New ting or relief surface of roller'A, pressing the York, in the county and State of New York, paper against the surface of the smooth roller have invented new and useful Improvements 0, and indenting or producing on the paper in Machines for the Manufacture of Lace-Pamore or less completely the lines and figures of per, of which the following is a specification. the pattern-roller. The action of the rollers Thisinvention has for its objects toprovide A and C does not complete the cutting or a novel machine for the manufacture of laceperforation of the paperor other article, and

The roller cuttingroller A, preferably of metal, upon E may be made of softer metal than the metal 25 whose surface is formed or engraved in relief 0f Which 16! C is made. The paper or fabthe lines and figures 0f the pattern to be proric which has passed between the'rollers A d'uced on the paper or other article.

The roller-E is made preferablyof thereof which are necessary to be cut out softer metal than that of roller C. On the therefrom to e pe fect Work fall to the side of roller A opposite. to roller 0 is placed ground, being perfectly severed by the cutthe roller F, whose surface contains the connting-roller from the body of the paper or tab 10 terpart of the pattern that is on the cuttingric Without requiring to be brushed out of 0 roller At];|at is to say, its s rf i k the rollers, as is common in machines forcutcontaining the pattern of roller A in reverse, ting la -I From the rollers A E the rollers A and F constituting a die and p p fabric is conducted between the counter-die. The several rollers are pressed Said r0116r A and the 6 F, by Which it iS '45 against each other by means of screws S, embossed with the pattern contained on the 5 which operate upon their shafts, respectively, roller F in mtaglt'o, the pattern or figures so as to regulate the pressure with which the Which are engraved or produced on the roller rollers O, E, and F bear against roll A, v A being usually produced upon the roller F In the operation of the machine the paper by forming said roller F of paper or other 50 For other material or fabric to be cut or per- Suitable material on which the figures and IOC pattern of roller Aare produced by bringing them together and rolling them upon each other under suitable pressure, so as to impress on the surface of roller F in reverse the figures and lines of roller A, so that on placing the paper or other article between them and turning the rollers under proper pressure the paper will be embossed with the pattern contained on the said rollers, of which one roller A is the die and the other roller F is the counter-die.

The pressure with which the .rollers are pressed against each other is graduated according to the judgment of the operator, and the diameters and construction of the several rollers A and F are such that perfect registering is produced, so that the successive impressions of the pattern-roller A fall upon the same places on the roller F and on the paper or fabric.

I do not restrict myself to the order above named in which the paper or other article is passed between the said rollers, as the embossing-roller F and the smooth rollers C or E can be made to change places, so that the embosssing-roller may act upon the paper before the cutting is completed.

By my improvement the cuttingof the paper or other article is effected by passing it between the cutting-roller and two smooth rollers, by means of which the cuttingismore perfect, the paper or article is not injured, and the cutters or cuttingsurface of the pattern-roller is saved from in j ury by the excessive pressure which would be required in cutting the paper if only one roller (like 0 or E) were employed in presenting the paper to the action of the pattern-roller. If only one smooth roller were employed in the cutting operation, the great pressure required would weaken the paper and spoil the roller and spoil the Gutting-surface of the pattern in a short time, and besides would not do the work perfectly and satisfactorily. It results from my invention that the rollers will last longer fectly and clean by two distinct cutting operations, the object of which is to avoid exerting excessive pressure on the cutting-die roller A, which would distort the paper and produce defective work.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure" 5 5 by Letters Patent, is

1. In a machine for cutting lace-paper and similar articles, the combination, with a cutting-roller containing the pattern in sharpedged relief, of the plain or smooth rollers C and E, against which the paper is cut successively, substantially as described.

2. A machine for making lace-paper, consisting of a supporting-frame O, the embossing counter-die roller F, the plain-surfaced rollers 0 and E, against which the paper is cut successively, and the embossing-roller F, containing the counterpart of the pattern of the cutting-roller, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
